Bond Lengths in Palladium and Platinum Analogues

Palladium, Platinum, (a). Synthetic and Structural Studies. In the last 10 years, primary emphasis has been placed on the reaction chemistry of the 1,1-dithio Pd and Pt complexes. The crystal and molecular structure of the Pd(Et2 Dtc)2 complex has been reported (30). The compound is x-ray isomorph-ous to the Pt(II) analogue, for which the crystal structure was reported previously (12). The expected four-coordinate planar coordination of the Pd(II) ion is characterized by a Pd-S bond length of 2.316(3) A.
